Defensively, a great shot blocker with strength and speed to guard against any position and a promising rebounder as well, with the ability to be an absolute game-changer on both ends of the floor.
Cooper Flagg is a terrific offensive prospect with a triple-double threat due to his passing upside. He has a great vision for his size and could be a dominant point forward. Flagg is also working on his footwork, post, and dribble moves to generate space.
